I am thinking about a 5:00 Candlelight Procession with a 7:45 seating at Rose and Crown. Do I need a reservation to sit on the terrace or how does that work. Is there a better place to see the Illumination and is it worth seeing.
Illuminations is certainly worth seeing. You can't reserve a terrace table but can request one when you check in. Sometimes they seem to not be taking requests but it doesn't hurt to ask nicely.
And yes, the terrace is a wonderful place to view Illuminations.
You can't reserve a particular table but you can ask. More than likely if you can wait a few minutes, one will clear up (unless everyone there has the same idea you do).
